Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot gets a NEW COVER!

BUY THIS ARTWORK - t.co/P0YqoGSUb...
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is coming out soon and while some people love the box art I thought it was kinda boring. So I tried my best to make a new cover for the game!
I include Super Saiyans, Freeza, Kid Goku and everything! Do you think it worked out?

In terms of Marketing, the original cover art is WAY better than Marks. When cover art is being made, you have to consider the consumers. And more parents are likely to buy their children a game whose cover art features an innocent looking dude on a cloud, rather than a buff angry dude with no shirt on.

[@itsthekid9815]

So while I think the art he did for a poster would be better than the original one I actually like the basic look the actual cover has. I like the basic look because I always disliked complicated looks. The reason for me is one side is suppose to show who or what the game is about and the back side goes more in depth so I like it being pure basic on the front. Tho what he does for what he wants does look very very good. It's an opinion thing. People don't feel the same way about things I do and for those people I would say this cover is probably amazing. I understand the complaints and the liking of it. Yet anyone who says well you can't do something better is a fucking idiot. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they should have to be proficient in a that field. I don't like certain music but those people have talent I don't.

[@Stiffmiester979]

@@rahulsar2030 yeah or maybe they're tired of everybody being a critic. IMO it's a perspective check. It's essentially saying who are you to critque this? What are your merits that your opinion has weight on the matter? Only someone who has been there would understand the process and what goes into it. Anyone can say a piece of art sucks or doesn't feel right but it has more meaning coming from another artist than someone who doesn't understand the process. I don't fault them for saying "well you do better" because most shitbags can't do better and have no clue how hard that is to do while they crap all over somebody's hours invested into a piece. Btw I think Mark killed it. Maybe with a different color palette it would be perfect. I'd say he DID do better than the original. But 9/10 times you just get assholes trying to shit on talent because they don't invest in themselves enough.

@@Stiffmiester979 Big problem with that. Your skill level to either be able to produce something better or not doesn't negate your criticisms. You don't have a to an art genius to critic art, you don't gotta be the god of cinema to critique movies. All you need is eyes, a brain, and your own opinion. Just because someone can or can't do something at the level of someone else doesn't mean they don't have a right to critique or else no one would get critiques. The argument is invalid and is just a childish way to try and dismiss someone else's argument just to make you feel like you shouldn't listen to someone else's and frankly it's just dumb.

[@JinlongTheGoldenDragon]

I agree that simplicity can sometimes work a lot better than complexity. I'm all for that, however, the game is called kakarot lol. I do agree with Mark that a game focusing on Goku's story should have a cover that evokes everything about him. The original cover was meant to be more iconic, while Mark's was more symbolic. I like Mark's better because I believe that symbolic approach represents the game better.

That's really not how disrespect works. If people thought he took a needlessly disrespectful tone when he voiced his opinion on the cover, him drawing his own cover doesn't really change that. I'm not one of the people who said that, but from the tweet he showed, it definitely could've been said more respectfully. If your mom baked a pie and Gordon Ramsey called your mom a dumb ugly fat fucking donkey, then made a way better pie, that really doesn't change what he said to your mom in any meaningful way. In all honesty, I think it makes the original comment seem even more mean-spirited and disrespectful, and I personally get the same feeling here with Mark and his comment + illustration.

[@adamc5914]

His illustration is a fine improvement on the original, but doesn't that just make the tone of the tweet even less necessary? I'm just imagining an alternate timeline where the conversation around this topic was Mark: I love Dragonball and all Dragonball art. The cover of this game could use some improvement, here's an illustration of my own concept for that improvement And I know more than a couple people in his fanbase draw their own Dragonball inspired artwork... artwork that is less skilled than the cover of that game. So if your favorite Dragonball youtuber saw your artwork, I'd bet you he'd think even worse of it, in the same needlessly negative tone. Food for thought; we could all stand to be a little less negative, especially around the subjective topic of artwork.

I personally believe that simple cover art of goku on his nimbus ready for an adventure like the game going on goku’s adventure is quite charming and nice but I can understand if people want a little more out of the cover and are not impressed

[@AlexanderDiviFilius]

I think if they did something as simple as show the landscape, almost as if he's rushing to save Gohan, Piccolo and Kuririn from Vegeta and Nappa, it would have worked better.

[@99survivabilityratepandemi81]

There's nothing wrong with demanding more from cover art. Everything now a days is a character posing or the face of the character.

[@babyjiren9676]

That's what I felt too. It was reminiscent of the art we'd see on old school DVD/VHS covers. I think Mark's cover, while well drawn, is a bit too flat. It feels like images stacked on top of each other, and quite frankly, like a half-assed photoshop attempt. I also feel like this whole ordeal solidifies the fact that people nowadays need everything to be flashy, dramatic and over the top, and can't appreciate a simple, clean design.

[@adendirie4337]

Baby Jiren I feel the same way. I genuinely like the way that the actual cover looks, even if it does remind me a lot of spider man PS4

[@djkori5521]

@@babyjiren9676 Really my only critique is to leave Frieza out because that does feel a bit over board and it does kind of clutter the cover a bit (I mean this is just base game Cover Art so we don't have to go all out..), but overall yeah way better than the original boring cover. It also succeed's more successfully in capturing the buyer's eye. So plus on that. The problem with the original isnt because it's "Simple.jpg", The problem is that it's "Feels Lazy.jpg" or I guess to be less mean "Feels Off".jpg = / as an artist myself (and not even a very good artist I noticed So many easy fixes that the OG cover could have done to easily avert this.) Like keep the red background hell but show the sprawling land Goku is flying over with the nimbus stretch out filling out the more downward portion of the case. Or making the Red Background have some kind of stylish design (which honestly doesn't have to pop out either just be something besides one color) and make the Goku picture much bigger in size (because honestly the Original VG Cover just looks like they slapped clip art onto some color and called it a day.) also make the Cover title filled instead of see through (Like put the title on top of a metal plate or something dragon Ball z-y actually hell put the nimbus under that actually!) Or also on the topic of the DVD Dragonball Case Covers you keep on referring to Which honestly if that's what they're going for or trying to invoke the feel of it completely fails at Because of funnily one thing (and it was mentioned in the video to..) but lol Composition. 1. The Big Vertical Title/Implied Borders: Which solves the weird amount of empty space the VG Cover has going on with it and also in a way is eye catching itself (Probably because your eyes has to readjust to reading the title Vertically if I were to theorize why.) 2. A Forward Facing Posed Character that mostly focuses on the Character Itself: despite maybe a bit of a lazy way at filling in that other portion of the Empty Space problem. It succeeds at not making it look cluttered. Now if we look at the VG Cover a bit this is probably what you're referring too. What I'm about to say is going to sound really weird, but maybe some people might get what I mean when I say Goku is not Forward Facing. (Even thought he clearly flying toward us!! man wym!?) Goku is actually angled forward. (Diagonally Forward? Something like that...) Giving us a kind of weird awkward leaning look and feel when compared to the DVD Covers Look which comes at you head on (or is centered around being face on confident or passionate with energy the only outlier I feel here maybe being the Frieza cover? ) {Side Tanget A thing that's probably just me though is that it feels like the Nimbus is more focused on than Goku. Like the Nimbus is fighting for more control of the cover than the actual character.} 3. The Color/Lighting Choice: This is going to be a pretty simple one to explain. The DVD Covers chose a pleasant color that's easy on the eyes and that's largely associated with the series. A nice light orange for the background. How the VG Cover messes this up if they were going for the DVD Feel is also kinda funny. they complicate the "Simple.jpg" color of the background with complicated Shadows and Lighting. Making the cover feel even more like a Lazy Photoshop cover.. Especially with the shadows outlining toward the outside of the cover. Last but not least they went with a very middling Orange color that can't decide if it wants to be dark toned or light toned which is further made more harder to look at with the Lighting and Shadows they threw on to the cover = /. That's pretty much it though on why the VG Cover doesn't even remotely remind me of the DVD Covers I honestly like more... Kinda insulting in a way if that's what they were going for? That's just me though.. Overall tl;Dr: yeah Mark's cover is better and honestly has earned my Subscribe and + respect. And I like the DVD Covers over the game cover which I feel if it was going for it fails at. Stay Jazzy yall

[@kyyourneutralisminekiske7104]

Sometimes my favourite part about being an artist is going, "Wow, I understand all this and how it works!" Then you go, "Oh god, I understand that pain" about 5 seconds later. Good job on this cover btw, I especially like how well that specific pen you use always seems to work so nicely even if it can make some things like the magic wand go insane (at least from experience anyways)

@@LilT2o00 the other reason to buy physical disk, is because when you download games, you're basically renting it. So if they were to take games off of the market, and you need to download it again. You can't which means you will have to buy the game again or something like that.

Amazing artwork! I am glad you chose the original Kid Goku. As a lifelong fan of the series it really irks me that so many people consider the lame version from the Broly movie as canon for Gokus origin story, when a much more compelling version has been out there long before Toei Animation decided that they needed to make even more money off of Dragonball.
